Matt's TD

I was just on Youtube to check out the top plays from this past weekend. There were some pretty amazing plays. But none more amazing than this one! This is my TOP PLAY!

At first glance you might think this is nothing special - that's what I thought - until I did some research. The ball carrier is Matt Ziesel, a junior at St. Joseph's Benton High School in Missouri, who has down syndrome. His team was down 46-0 when his coach asked the opposing coach to let Matt score, not only did the opposing coach say yes, but his defensive players did everything they could to make it feel as real as possible for Matt! That's what I call sportsmanship, and that's why this is my TOP PLAY!

Smoked!

This past weekends college football schedule for The Y, the U, and Utah State had everybody in the state excited. Each member of Utah's big 3 was taking on a high profile BCS conference team, and a lot of people thought there was a legit chance that our state could put even more pressure on the BCS to change!
At least for now - all of that will have to wait. All the big 3 served up were 3 BIG disappointments, as Utah couldn't keep up with Oregon down the stretch, Utah State came up just short in what could have been a huge upset against Texas A&M, and BYU decided not to show up against FSU. For Utah it was the end of the nations longest winning streak. For BYU it marked the first home loss in 3 years. And for USU.....it was the same old same old.

The part that bugs me the most is this...NOW NONE OF THE TEAMS FROM UTAH HAVE A SHOT AT THE BCS, While the teams that beat us, who all have 2-1 records still have a legit shot at not only playing in a BCS game, but also the national championship. Oklahoma even has a better shot at that than anybody from Utah. It just goes to show how bad of a system the BCS is.

But hey, lets look on the bright side....Vegas is beautiful in December. Just ask Bronco Mendenhall, he knows all about it.

Talkin' Sports

Well here it is...my very first sports blog!

Recently I was on a road trip with my wife, her cousin Elise, and Elise's husband Bryan. On the way home Brian and I were in the front seats Talkin' Sports. Brian turned to the back and asked for the girls to interject to which the reply came...."there is too much testosterone in here." Probably the best reply ever, it made me laugh.

There are so many times I have been talking to another guy and noticed that every gal in the room is totally tuned out, every time I notice this...I'm Talkin' Sports.

What is it that makes chicks zone out when dudes are Talkin' Sports? How could something be so interesting to a guy, and yet totally ungripping to a girl? The answer is.......NO BODY KNOWS!

In a way this blog is doing my wife...and a lot of other girls a favor, cause if they don't wanna hear me Talkin' Sports they don't have to. At the same time though I'm doing a favor for me and all the other dudes out there cause now you can hear me Talkin' Sports any time you want!

So here's a little bit about me and what you can expect on this blog.

I am a HUGE BYU fan! I love 'em! I'm gonna write about them!

I am a HUGE UTE hater! I hate em! But i'm still going to write about them!

I am a MAJOR JAZZ fanatic! You WILL be hearing about them!

I H-A-T-E the LAKERS! They are #2 on my shiz list (right behind the Utes)!

I'm down with MLB baseball! I'm all about the Cards and the Yanks! Hate the Bo Sox!

I don't like NASCAR and I won't write about it!

Every now and then I might write about cricket or rugby or some Olympic sport or something, cause I'm down with them too and I gotta give them their due respect!

I hope all of you out there enjoy my blog! You keep it real, and I'll do the same! Until next time...keep Talkin' Sports
